1 At that time, when thousands of the people had come together, in such numbers that they were crushing one another, he said first to his disciples, Have nothing to do with the leaven of the Pharisees, which is deceit.
1 Meanwhile, when a multitude of many thousands had gathered together, so much so that they trampled on each other, he began to tell his disciples first of all, “Beware of the yeast of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
2 But nothing is covered up, which will not come to light, or secret, which will not be made clear.
2 But there is nothing covered up that will not be revealed, nor hidden that will not be known.
3 So, whatever you have said in the dark, will come to men's hearing in the light, and what you have said secretly inside the house, will be made public from the house-tops.
3 Therefore whatever you have said in the darkness will be heard in the light. What you have spoken in the ear in the inner rooms will be proclaimed on the housetops.
4 And I say to you, my friends, Have no fear of those who may put the body to death, and are able to do no more than that.
4 “I tell you, my friends, don’t be afraid of those who kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.
5 But I will make clear to you of whom you are to be in fear: of him who after death has power to send you to hell; yes, truly I say, Have fear of him.
5 But I will warn you whom you should fear. Fear him who after he has killed, has power to cast into Gehenna. Yes, I tell you, fear him.
6 Are not five sparrows given in exchange for two farthings? and God has every one of them in mind.
6 “Aren’t five sparrows sold for two assaria coins? Not one of them is forgotten by God.
7 But even the hairs of your head are numbered. Have no fear: you are of more value than a flock of sparrows.
7 But the very hairs of your head are all counted. Therefore don’t be afraid. You are of more value than many sparrows.
8 And I say to you that to everyone who gives witness to me before men, the Son of man will give witness before the angels of God.
8 “I tell you, everyone who confesses me before men, the Son of Man will also confess before the angels of God;
9 But if anyone says before men that he has no knowledge of me, I will say that I have no knowledge of him before the angels of God.
9 but he who denies me in the presence of men will be denied in the presence of God’s angels.
10 And if anyone says a word against the Son of man, he will have forgiveness: but for him who says evil words against the Holy Spirit, there will be no forgiveness.
10 Everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but those who blaspheme against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven.
11 And when they take you before the Synagogues and the authorities and the rulers, take no thought about what answers you will give, or what you will say:
11 When they bring you before the synagogues, the rulers, and the authorities, don’t be anxious how or what you will answer or what you will say;
12 For the Holy Spirit will make clear to you in that very hour what to say.
12 for the Holy Spirit will teach you in that same hour what you must say.”
13 And one of the people said to him, Master, give an order to my brother to make division of the heritage with me.
13 One of the multitude said to him, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me.”
14 But he said, Man, who made me a judge or a maker of decisions for you?
14 But he said to him, “Man, who made me a judge or an arbitrator over you?”
15 And he said to them, Take care to keep yourselves free from the desire for property; for a man's life is not made up of the number of things which he has.
15 He said to them, “Beware! Keep yourselves from covetousness, for a man’s life doesn’t consist of the abundance of the things which he possesses.”
16 And he said to them, in a story, The land of a certain man of great wealth was very fertile:
16 He spoke a parable to them, saying, “The ground of a certain rich man produced abundantly.
17 And he said to himself, What is to be done? for I have no place in which to put all my fruit.
17 He reasoned within himself, saying, ‘What will I do, because I don’t have room to store my crops?’
18 And he said, This I will do: I will take down my store-houses and make greater ones, and there I will put all my grain and my goods.
18 He said, ‘This is what I will do. I will pull down my barns, build bigger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods.
19 And I will say to my soul, Soul, you have a great amount of goods in store, enough for a number of years; be at rest, take food and wine and be happy.
19 I will tell my soul, “Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years. Take your ease, eat, drink, and be merry.”’
20 But God said to him, You foolish one, tonight I will take your soul from you, and who then will be the owner of all the things which you have got together?
20 “But God said to him, ‘You foolish one, tonight your soul is required of you. The things which you have prepared—whose will they be?’
21 So that is what comes to the man who gets wealth for himself, and has not wealth in the eyes of God.
21 So is he who lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.”
22 And he said to his disciples, For this reason I say to you, Take no thought for your life, about what food you will take, or for your body, how it may be clothed.
22 He said to his disciples, “Therefore I tell you, don’t be anxious for your life, what you will eat, nor yet for your body, what you will wear.
23 Is not life more than food, and the body than its clothing?
23 Life is more than food, and the body is more than clothing.
24 Give thought to the ravens; they do not put seeds into the earth, or get together grain; they have no store-houses or buildings; and God gives them their food: of how much greater value are you than the birds!
24 Consider the ravens: they don’t sow, they don’t reap, they have no warehouse or barn, and God feeds them. How much more valuable are you than birds!
25 And which of you by taking thought is able to make himself any taller?
25 Which of you by being anxious can add a cubit to his height?
26 If, then, you are not able to do even that which is least, why are you troubled about the rest?
26 If then you aren’t able to do even the least things, why are you anxious about the rest?
27 Give thought to the flowers: they do no work, they make no thread; and still I say to you, Even Solomon, in all his glory, was not clothed like one of these.
27 Consider the lilies, how they grow. They don’t toil, neither do they spin; yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
28 But if God gives such clothing to the grass in the field, which today is living, and tomorrow will be burned in the oven, how much more will he give clothing to you, O men of little faith?
28 But if this is how God clothes the grass in the field, which today exists and tomorrow is cast into the oven, how much more will he clothe you, O you of little faith?
29 And do not give overmuch thought to your food and drink, and let not your mind be full of doubts.
29 “Don’t seek what you will eat or what you will drink; neither be anxious.
30 For the nations of the world go in search of all these things: but your Father has knowledge that you have need of them.
30 For the nations of the world seek after all of these things, but your Father knows that you need these things.
31 But let your chief care be for his kingdom, and these other things will be given to you in addition.
31 But seek God’s Kingdom, and all these things will be added to you.
32 Have no fear, little flock, for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.
32 “Don’t be afraid, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the Kingdom.
33 Give what property you have in exchange for money, and give the money to the poor; make for yourselves money-bags which will not get old, wealth stored up in heaven which will be yours for ever, where thieves will not come nor worms put it to destruction.
33 Sell what you have and give gifts to the needy. Make for yourselves purses which don’t grow old, a treasure in the heavens that doesn’t fail, where no thief approaches and no moth destroys.
34 For where your wealth is, there will your heart be.
34 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
35 Be ready, dressed as for a journey, with your lights burning.
35 “Let your waist be dressed and your lamps burning.
36 And be like men who are looking for their lord, when he comes back from the bride-feast; so that when he comes to the door, it will be open to him quickly.
36 Be like men watching for their lord when he returns from the wedding feast, that when he comes and knocks, they may immediately open to him.
37 Happy are those servants who are watching when the lord comes; truly I say to you, he will make himself their servant and, placing them at the table, he will come out and give them food.
37 Blessed are those servants whom the lord will find watching when he comes. Most certainly I tell you that he will dress himself, make them recline, and will come and serve them.
38 And if he comes in the second division of the night or in the third, and they are watching for him, happy are those servants.
38 They will be blessed if he comes in the second or third watch and finds them so.
39 But be certain of this, that if the master of the house had had knowledge of the time when the thief was coming, he would have been watching, and would not have let his house be broken into.
39 But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what hour the thief was coming, he would have watched and not allowed his house to be broken into.
40 So be ready: for the Son of man is coming at a time when you are not looking for him.
40 Therefore be ready also, for the Son of Man is coming in an hour that you don’t expect him.”
41 And Peter said to him, Lord, are these words said to us only, or to all men?
41 Peter said to him, “Lord, are you telling this parable to us, or to everybody?”
42 And the Lord said, Who then is the wise and responsible servant whom his lord will put in control of his family, to give them their food at the right time?
42 The Lord said, “Who then is the faithful and wise steward, whom his lord will set over his household, to give them their portion of food at the right times?
43 Happy is that servant who, when his lord comes, is doing so.
43 Blessed is that servant whom his lord will find doing so when he comes.
44 Truly I say to you, he will put him in control of all his goods.
44 Truly I tell you that he will set him over all that he has.
45 But if that servant says to himself, My lord is a long time coming; and goes about giving blows to the men-servants and the women-servants, feasting and taking overmuch wine;
45 But if that servant says in his heart, ‘My lord delays his coming,’ and begins to beat the menservants and the maidservants, and to eat and drink and to be drunken,
46 The lord of that servant will come at a time when he is not looking for him, and at an hour when he is not ready for him, and he will have him cut in two and will give him his part in the fate of those who have no faith;
46 then the lord of that servant will come in a day when he isn’t expecting him and in an hour that he doesn’t know, and will cut him in two, and place his portion with the unfaithful.
47 And the servant who had knowledge of his lord's desires and was not ready for him and did not do as he was ordered, will be given a great number of blows;
47 That servant who knew his lord’s will, and didn’t prepare nor do what he wanted, will be beaten with many stripes,
48 But he who, without knowledge, did things for which punishment is given, will get only a small number of blows. The man to whom much is given, will have to give much; if much is given into his care, of him more will be requested.
48 but he who didn’t know, and did things worthy of stripes, will be beaten with few stripes. To whomever much is given, of him will much be required; and to whom much was entrusted, of him more will be asked.
49 I came to send a fire on the earth, and it may even now have been lighted.
49 “I came to throw fire on the earth. I wish it were already kindled.
50 But there is a baptism which I have to undergo; and how am I kept back till it is complete!
50 But I have a baptism to be baptized with, and how distressed I am until it is accomplished!
51 Is it your opinion that I have come to give peace on earth? I say to you, No, but division:
51 Do you think that I have come to give peace on the earth? I tell you, no, but rather division.
52 For from this time, a family of five in one house will be on opposite sides, three against two and two against three.
52 For from now on, there will be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three.
53 They will be at war, the father against his son, and the son against his father; mother against daughter, and daughter against mother; mother-in-law against daughter-in-law, and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law.
53 They will be divided, father against son, and son against father; mother against daughter, and daughter against her mother; mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law, and daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.”
54 Then he said to the people, When you see a cloud coming up in the west, straight away you say, There will be rain; and so it is.
54 He said to the multitudes also, “When you see a cloud rising from the west, immediately you say, ‘A shower is coming,’ and so it happens.
55 And when you see a south wind blowing, you say, There will be heat; and so it is.
55 When a south wind blows, you say, ‘There will be a scorching heat,’ and it happens.
56 O false ones! the face of the earth and the heaven is clear to you; how is it that the signs of these times are not as clear to you?
56 You hypocrites! You know how to interpret the appearance of the earth and the sky, but how is it that you don’t interpret this time?
57 And why are you, in your hearts, unable to be judges of what is right?
57 “Why don’t you judge for yourselves what is right?
58 For if anyone has a cause at law against you, and you are going with him before the ruler, make an attempt, on the way, to come to an agreement with him, for if you do not, he may take you before the judge and the judge will give you up to the police, and they will put you in prison.
58 For when you are going with your adversary before the magistrate, try diligently on the way to be released from him, lest perhaps he drag you to the judge, and the judge deliver you to the officer, and the officer throw you into prison.
59 I say to you, You will not come out of it till you have made payment to the very last farthing.
59 I tell you, you will by no means get out of there until you have paid the very last penny.”

Lo que dijeron los Padres
Pasajes de los Padres de la Iglesia que comentan o citan este capítulo, tal como aparecen en la edición de Schaff (traducciones inglesas del siglo XIX, de dominio público). Los textos están en inglés.
Cómo se eligieron
«Comentario» es el comienzo de una homilía o exposición sobre este capítulo (homilías de san Juan Crisóstomo; tratados, sermones y comentarios a los Salmos de san Agustín). «Cita» es una frase en la que las notas de la propia edición identifican la cita de un versículo de este capítulo; solo se conserva si el texto coincide con el versículo. Solo se usan obras de autoría segura. Los Salmos siguen la numeración hebrea (Agustín usa la de los Setenta: su Salmo 50 es aquí el 51).
I doubt not but that ye who fear God, do hear His word with awe, and execute it with cheerfulness; that what He hath promised, ye may at present hope for, hereafter receive. We have just now heard the Lord Christ Jesus, the Son of God, giving us a precept.

And to this He refers when He says, "And I have another baptism to be baptized with, and I hasten eagerly towards it." Moreover, they affirm that the Lord added this redemption to the sons of Zebedee, when their mother asked that they might sit, the one on His right hand, and the other on His left, in His kingdom, …
If this be so, then that is false which Christ says, "Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do;" for it seems they can do great injury to the dead body.

"For mighty" men (it is said) "shall be mightily tormented:" and "He that knew his Lord's will, and doeth it not, shall be beaten with many stripes." So that more knowledge is a ground of more punishment.

And he who says again that the Father is one, and the maker of the world another, opposes the Son when He says, If then God so clothes the grass of the field which to-day is, and to-morrow is cast into the furnace of fire; and, Who maketh His sun to rise on the evil and on the good, …
